Queer Grief - Tumblr Posts

I don’t want to make people mad with my existence, I don’t want to challenge right-wing ideals just being myself, I don’t want to counterculture or revolutionary, I just want to exist not having to know that a considerable amount of people want me dead and think of me as inherently sinful or dirty. I don’t want to have to wake up every day and realize people who hate me are all around me and I interact with them nearly every day.

Fascists take everything from queer people- our safety, our dignity, our freedoms, our community- and they don’t even let us mourn. They take our grief as a sign of weakness and proof that we are less than human and not deserving of that freedom and that safety. They cut us and don’t let us bleed. They cut us and use our blood as proof we deserve to be cut.
